OS X Mountain Lion Possible FIX.

Ok so I have tried EVERYTHING to get my download working for the past 45mins and no luck... UNTIL NOW!

I tried the whole deleting files and stuff but that gave me no luck, so heres how I finally managed to get mine working.

1. Quit all applications.

2. Load the App Store.

3. DO NOT click the top advertisement for Mountain Lion, instead immediately click the link under New & Noteworthy (click the price and then buy rather than download)

4. Sit and wait for your download 🙂

Hope this helps you all.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

That's awesome!

Do you mind filling me in on what problem you had that was fixed this way?

This way other people can get the help they need.

Unfortunately, there isn't any "trick"... you'll just need to wait a bit. Their servers are getting hit hard and it's going to take some time for the demand to die down a bit.

Well seen as this has worked for many of my friends and also myself whilst I attempted the first way as stated in the thread 5 times and it failed, yet when i tried this method 3seconds later it worked, (as did my friends) I would call that a fix.

20minutes left of my download.
